Neukölln is one of Berlin’s most densely populated boroughs. The pipe problems differ fundamentally by district: in northern Neukölln – between Sonnenallee, Karl-Marx-Straße and Weserstraße – Gründerzeit period buildings from the 1890s to 1920s stand side by side with cast-iron riser pipes and high resident density per building unit. In Gropiusstadt, the large housing estates of the 1960s and 1970s designed by Walter Gropius dominate: around 18,000 apartments share central riser pipes and collective connections. Britz, Buckow and Rudow are characterised by detached and semi-detached houses with their own main lines.
The drinking water in Neukölln comes predominantly from the Johannisthal and Friedrichshagen waterworks according to Berliner Wasserbetriebe – at a hardness of approximately 14 to 18 degrees German hardness. In the cast-iron pipes of the Gründerzeit buildings along Karl-Marx-Straße and Sonnenallee, this water hardness also leads over decades to noticeable diameter reduction through limescale deposits. The high resident density in the northern part of the borough intensifies the problem: more wastewater per pipe means more deposits and faster blockages.
